Castle Hali'i Kai at Waikoloa
Clean, quiet, and easy check-in. The hours of the onsite office starts at 10am, and I did not receive a response to my request for a late check-out prior to the 11am checkout time. Otherwise, great stay.

It’s our absolute favorite place to stay. We’ve stayed in two different condos and they were both stunning.
